Such wind as scatters young men through the world
To seek their fortunes farther than at home,
Where small experince grows.
But in a few, Signor Hortensio, thus it
stands with me: Anonio, my father, is deceas'd, And I have thrust myself into this maze, Happily to wive and thrive as best I may. Crowns in my Purse have, and goods at home, And so am come abroad to see the world. The Taming of the Shrew act 1, scene 2
When to the Sessions of Sweet Silent Thought (sonnet 30) When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up rememberance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste;
Then I can i drown my eye (unus'd to flow)
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moanth' expense of many a vanish'd sight,
Then can I griee at grievance foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before:
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses restor'd, and sorrows end.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yeasterdays have lighted fools
The way to dust death. Out,out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. from Macbeth (act 5 scene 5)
Analysis of Scene 5 My Reaction: My reaction to this poem was wow, did Shakespeare just say that?

Rhyme Scheme: The rhyme scheme to this poem is: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,D,H,I. Theme: The theme of this poem is life is always taunting you, and that you need to cherish it and nottake advantage of it because at any moment death can hope up and take it. Historical Connection: A historical connection i made with this poem is that in those days that Shakespeare wrote during, people of that era didn't take life for granted like we do today. Yes we say we are lucky to be alive, but we never had to suffer like the people of that time period.
Some of Shakespeare's Work
Shakespeare has written many pieces of literature. His first two poems are Venus and Adonis (1593) and The Rape of Lucrece (1594). Shakespeare has written 37 known plays and more, 2 narrative poems, and 154 sonnets within 30 years. William Shakespear had only one printed play during his life time and that was Love's Labor's Lost (1598); however, many of his other famous writings such as: Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Ceaser, and more weren't published until after his death. Other writtings of his became public when his fellow comrades at The King's Men, came to the idea that they must preserve Shakespeare's work. Many in Shakespeare's lifetime disregaurded Shakespeare's literature becasue he did not attend school at a Univesity, but after his death they later changed their minds.
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born April 23, 1564 in Stratford-on Avon, England. He was the oldest son of Mary Arden and John Shakespeare. Shakespeare had eight siblings: four brothers adn four sisters. His father, John Shakespeare, was a respected buissnessman and also played apart in being the Alderman and Baliff. Later on in William Shakespeare's life his father will play a major role in birthing what we know William for today. At age five he began to attend school at New King's School in Stratford. He went to 6 days a week from 7am to 5pm, and learned Latin and little Greek. When William became a preteen (12 or 13) his father withdrew him from school, so william became an apprentience for his father's glove-making buissness. At age 18 he married Anne Hathaway. Together they had two daughters, Susanna, and Judith whose twin brother died in boyhood. Shakespeare had only one published print in his lifetime and that was Love's Labor's Lost in 1598. All of his other publishings were done by his comerades of The King's Men, John Heminges and Henery Condell. They published Shakespeare's writing after his death which was after he moved back to stratford as a wealthy gentleman at age 46. After a night of entertainment with Ben Jonson, Shakespeare fell ill, and died April 23, 1616 at age 52.
